Roof (Policy Regarding When It Should Be Open)

['08 Cubs]

Great game!

It's great to see the Cards not playing out the string!
Go Big Red!

On a side note, a couple people in our section were asking what the policy on opening and closing the roof is. Does anyone know?

Cubbie

O yeah!
Great job by the fans today as well. The dome was rockin'

Today was perfect weather to have the roof open...I was surprised it was closed....if they do not have it open on a day like today....why do we have a retractable roof?

Nice win though.....Four very loud seahawks fans were in the seats right behind me and one of the ladies had an extremely loud high pitched voice and it was giving me a headache....they were screaming how they were robbed on every play...according the them the Cardinals should have had like 50 penalties ..glad we shut them up at the end... These were the most obnoxious fans from other teams that have been around me since the Chiefs game.... The seats behind me are obviously owned by a scalper and every game fans are from opposing teams...At least the lions, cowboys, bears and Rams fans in these particular seats were not as obnoxious as the seahawk and chiefs fans...

disapointed the roof was closed the last two games I went to (today and detroit) - was a little windy today, but it seems like it should of been open

 

[arthurracoon]

yea, why was it closed today?

One of the guys on the radio said the crowd noise was louder with the roof closed.

 

[BigRedRage]

very dissapointing the roof was closed

 

[conraddobler]

I'd get used to it being closed.

The reason is simple, it's a competitive advantage, unless they are showing it off like on MNF, they'll close it most times.

Big games played on neutral sites like the Bowl games and the SB will most likely be open.

Just a hunch.

The other reason is that the sun shines on the expensive seats and they won't give the $200 seats any greif.

fox network has their crew working the cards game today that will be working the Fiesta bowl. i am guessing they requested it.

 

[MadCardDisease]

It was really windy today. I'm glad they kept it closed.

 

[D-Dogg]

It was pretty windy...with an open roof, I think it would create swirling wind in the stadium, not much that you'd feel, but that would affect kicks.

That's my guess.

So Rackers' kicks would have blown through the uprights?

It was closed. We won. I'm cool with that.

Even with the wind, I was dissappointed the roof was not open.

I heard the guys on the post game show say something to the effect that some of the fans had complained that the sun was right in their eyes in the 2nd qtr and could not see the field (ie, club level, expensive seats).

What, they can't afford to buy anti-glare sunglasses??

Fans are stupid idiots. I almost got into a fight with the front row of section 118 because they refused to stand during the game's (and Seahawks) final 3rd down near our endzone. Idiots!

we had some guy yell at us in the 2nd play of the game to "sit down, my kid is trying to watch" we told them to stand up and started ignoring them. 5 plays later the entire stadium is standing, they never say anything again and i Hear his kid standing behind me being as loud as i am. Jackass parent.
